A Los Angeles police officer was shot and wounded late Friday in an ambush attack in the Westlake District, authorities said. The shooting occurred about 9:50 p.m.

“She was ambushed,” said Officer Mike Lopez said. “You’re walking and all the sudden someone starts shooting at you.” The unidentified officer was hit in the thigh and was hospitalized at County-USC Medical Center.

The officer was with a partner, who was not wounded. Neither fired a weapon, Lopez said.

The LAPD tweeted, “Please keep the officer in your prayers tonight.”

One unidentified suspect was taken into custody, but police were continuing to search for others possibly involved. A gun was recovered. Several streets in the area were closed, as well as the southbound 110 Freeway, as officers conducted their search.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – The deputy shot and killed in Douglas County Sunday morning has been identified as Zackari Parrish III. He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters.

Parrish was among five deputies and two civilians who were shot at the Copper Canyon Apartments Sunday morning.

The other deputies were identified as Mike Doyle, 28, Taylor Davis, 30, and Jeff Pelle, 32. Castle Rock Police Department Officer Tom O’Donnell, 41, was also shot. They were all in stable condition Sunday afternoon, according to Sheriff Spurlock.

The two civilian victims have not been identified. They suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Deputies first arrived at the Copper Canyon Apartment Homes on County Line Road near University Boulevard around 1:30 a.m. after a resident complained of loud noise at a neighboring apartment home.

The second call to deputies came around 5 a.m., alerting them of a more serious “disturbance” at the apartment in question.

Law enforcement officers set up a perimeter, including a special weapons and tactical team, in case the disturbance moved away from the immediate area.

At 5:14 a.m., officers entered the apartment with the help of a male roommate, and began talking with the suspect, who had barricaded himself in a bedroom, explained Tony Spurlock, Sheriff of Douglas County.

“We respond to every call anticipating that everyone has a gun. This is Colorado,” Spurlock added. Deputies, however, may not have anticipated the violent attack that happened next.

The suspect fired more than 100 rounds, Spurlock said, killing one deputy and injuring four other law enforcement officers in an ambush style shooting.

Two apartment neighbors, also struck by the gunfire, were rushed to an area hospital and were expected to survive.
